Page "The Truman Show" Paragraph 8

* Laura Linney as Meryl Burbank / Hannah Gill: Hannah Gill plays Truman's wife, who holds a profession as a nurse at the local hospital.

Since the show relies on product placement for revenue, Meryl regularly shows off various items she has recently " purchased ," one of the many oddities that makes Truman question his life.

Her role is essentially to act the part of Truman's wife and ultimately to have a child by him, despite her reluctance to accomplish either.

Linney explains that " she was a child actress who never made it, and now she's really ambitious.

Mostly she's into negotiating her contract.

Every time she sleeps with Truman she gets an extra $ 10, 000.

" Linney heavily studied Sears catalogs from the 1950s to develop her character's poses.
